Xishuangbanna (12 Panna) or Chiang Rung: A Journey into Tai Lue Culture and Scenic Beauty
Xishuangbanna, also known as Chiang Rung or "Jiang Hung" in the Northern Thai dialect, is officially called Jinghong (景洪) in Chinese. It serves as the capital city of the Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan, China.
The region comprises three districts:

This area is home to the Tai Lue people, whose vibrant cultural heritage is evident in their language, traditional clothing, architecture, and cuisine.

Though divided by modern borders, these cities still reflect their shared heritage in dialects, customs, traditions, cuisine, physical traits, and architecture. This connection is especially noticeable to Northern Thai locals, promoting a sense of familiarity and kinship.
